VIP 622 Single Tuner Out

Tuner 1 doesn't like the signal from the dish. Signal screen shows below 25 and it can't find the sat name. Tuner 2 is just fine. Not so bad because we usually use one tuner at a time, but if it is recording we can't watch anything except recorded content.

Tried unplugging and all that stuff. Checked connections and they are all good.

Any thoughts? I think the box is bad, but I'm open to suggestions.

Try switching the lines between tuner 1/2. Does the problem stay on the tuner or follow the cable?

Can't really "flip" the cables in this situation because of the 1 line from outside. Input 1 carries the power. However, I eliminated everything and went straight from the dish to tuner 1 and results were the same. Tuner 1 seems to be bunk. Maybe after 7 years it just doesn't want to work anymore.
